This is another from the holiday 2012 collection that I had my eye on and was not able to get my hands on. I also bought this at the Gilroy Premium Outlet stores but didn't have the time to post about it until now. This limited edition 10 eye shadows and 4 lip glosses are very wearable both in the day and the night. You can either go for the "no make up" look for work or the day. Alternatively you could go for the darker more mysterious, sexy "smokey eye" look for a night out.
Eye shadow colours included (left to right):
- Navajo: Creamy pinkish white
- Candlelight Gold Metallic: Shimmery golden taupe
- Petal Shimmer Wash: Light pink
- Cement: Grey beige
- Prosecco: Shimmer neutral pink
- Truffle: Mid-tone grey pink
- Bellini Shimmer Wash: Golden peach
- Bronze Stone Shimmer Wash: Pale golden brown
- Brown Sugar Metallic: Shimmer brown mauve
- Caviar: Black brown
Lip gloss colours included:
- Bubble Bath: Medium pink
- Chrome Pink Shimmer: Shimmer silver pink mauve
- Bellini Glitter: Shimmer brown mauve
- Bare Glitter: Pale peach with golden sparkle
As a standard, I would recommend that you use the Navajo (creamy pinkish white) as a base before applying any of the other colours, being that the colours are very light. Colours that are neutral and very light show up much better after you've used a base.
The good thing about these colours is that it is suitable for all skin tones. Bobbi Brown eye shadows are one of the best I've ever used as they are very pigmented and stay on all day. With this many colours in one palette, you really can have many different combinations depending on what you're wearing on that day or how you feel.
I especially love this palette because it's good for traveling or to chuck in your handbag (doesn't take up too much space). The eye shadow and lip glosses fold out on separate sections so this ensures that they do not end up getting all messy. I would NOT appreciate my lip gloss getting into my eye shadow for sure!
Another excellent purchase for US$52.50. Didn't break the bank, YEAH!
